Slowly Burning I read a story by Leon van Kemenade that really impressed me:

"Like all of us I often fall in love with my own photos. I know, a bit sad. It's just that when you've found a composition that you really like, when you've got the shot you were after, when you've sweated and slaved over it in post processing (well, that might be a bit over the top), it's hard not to invest a bit too much emotional energy into an image. Usually, after a week or so, you look at it again with a little more distance between it and you and you realise that perhaps it wasn't that great after all. Still it was nice while it lasted.

And so I confess, I won't deny it... I love this photo! It has so much of what I personally love in the photos I love taking. It's got symmetry, that's a given. It's got some lovely colours. And it's got a story to tell with that ...., ......, and that ......on the right in a perfect position. So talk to me in a week or so but for now at least I love it!"

Passion, isn't that what it's all about? Keep inspiring us Leon!
